NAIOP Northern Virginia inaugurated a Developing Leaders Mentor Program in 2011.  Designed to create an informal exchange between NAIOP Northern Virginia’s Developing Leaders (DLs) and existing leaders in the commercial real estate industry, the program promotes professional growth for individual DLs by acting as a forum for education and networking with peers and seasoned professionals.  The DL Mentor Program is available to any member of the chapter who is 35 years or under.  Seasoned real estate professionals from the chapter’s leadership have agreed to be mentors.  Each mentor will have a group of four to five people who he/she will meet with a minimum of six times during the year.  Meetings may include a project tour, a case study, a social event such as a ball game or golf outing, etc.  Each mentor group will have the opportunity to establish its own goals and objectives for the year.
